‘Bounce’ Strong: Mental Health and Resilience

What exactly is resilience?

It is the power supporting us to get through tough times. It is an ability to cope with/recover from setbacks, stressful moments, and overload. Resilience is also a spiritual value. It is the inner strength that gives us courage, confidence, and power.

Building resilience is increasingly becoming a necessity for us to meet the challenges we face both personally and professionally. It is now considered a core competency for teams so that they flourish in today’s complex work environment that is constantly changing and evolving. Resilient workplaces experience more cohesion, less stress and tension, as well as greater productivity.
